Interventional Pain Management utilizes a multidisciplinary approach to provide a full range of services and treatments for patients suffering from acute or chronic pain. Pain management injections are safe, effective, can provide longer-term solutions than oral medications, and are a less invasive option than surgery.
My objective is to relieve, reduce, or manage pain and improve a patient’s overall quality of life. This is accomplished through minimally invasive techniques specifically designed to properly diagnose and treat painful conditions with the ultimate goal of helping your patient return to their everyday activities as soon as possible and without heavy reliance on medications.
